Cheap Gothic Soap Opera, Part 56

I was winded after the long elevator ride, but I managed to make my way to the registry.
"Mr. V." it said, "Room 9."
I took a swig out of my juicebox, because that's what real men drink, and walked down the hallway as the registry started to sing. I ignored it. I had more important things to do.
The doors were arranged in some random, confusing pattern, starting with 1, then 2, then 3, and onwards. Even with my uncanny powers of observation I could not figure it out. I was stuck, like a gopher after too many ham sundays, but suddenly one of the doors opened, and a stout man in an aloha shirt and shorts crept out. He looked around, so I hid by walking up to him and shouting, "Hey youse!" but he ran down the hall. I had forgotten my gun, so I threw my shoe at him. He ducked, and the shoe hit the wall in front of him, melting it. I guess some walls weren't meant to be hit by shoes.
The ducking had caused the man to lose his breath, so I caught up with him easily.
"You're burnt toast now, Mr. V, so why don't I talk and you reply. Cabbage?"
"Mr. V? He been missing for eight days now."
"Well if you're not him, who are you?"
"Rutherford Blainke. I've been running the company since last week."
"Why did you fire Ms. Stewart?"
"No one knows. It was Mr. V's last order before he disappeared."
I picked the man up gruffly. "Your story doesn't add up. I talked to Mr. V on the phone just a minute ago, and he sounded just peachy. We're going to his office. Now." I turned the knob on the door in front of me, which had some words I couldn't read and I nice little smily face, just without the skin and tissue.
"You fool!" shouted Blainke, but I had already opened the door. A giant white tentacle shot out of the swirling vortex that was the room and took Mr. Blainke. Taking this as a good sign, I began to walk into the room. Then I sensed the cold touch of a .5 millimeter double-ammoed supergun. I stopped in my tracks.
